That's how I use it though; I put the mark off to the side and setup a
dispersion area, so as I add to the schematic and import it, parts
show up off to the side where I can grab them for placement.

Using the crosshair means an extra click (at least, possibly after
panning) after selecting the menu option, and center doesn't let you
change the location.

> So perhaps that menu option should just go away?

No thank you.
